Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s decades-long battle against the federal government over grazing rights continues, but it may get worse over a leaked memo that was uncovered in 2010 that reveals an Obama Administration land grab initiative that may spread across other western states, possibly causing the same showdown between landowners, ranchers, and the federal government.

The Tea Party Command Center on Saturday uncovered the lost news report where former Republican Senator Jim DeMint raised the alarm back in 2010 of a leaked memo about a planned, 10 million acre Western land grab by the Obama administration of 17 sites in 11 western states.

The secret memo stamped, “Internal Draft – NOT FOR RELEASE” was leaked by a Department of Interior official to Utah Congressman Bob Bishop.

The memo titled, “Prospective Conservation Designation: National Monument Designations under the Antiquities Act” proposes that many nationally significant landscapes are worthy of inclusion in the NLCS and if enacted, could very well set off another BLM and property owner standoffs.

The areas listed may be good candidates for National Monument designation under the Antiquities Act; however, further evaluations should be completed prior to any final decision, including an assessment of public and Congressional support.

Some of the areas listed include San Rafael Swell, Utah, Montana’s IS Northern Prairie, Lesser Prairie Chicken Preserve in New Mexico, Berryessa Snow Mountains in California, Heart of the Great Basin in Nevada, Otero Mesa in New Mexico, Northwest Sonoran Desert in Arizona, Owyhee Desert that crosses Oregon and Nevada, and expanding the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in California.

Interestingly enough, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that is at the center of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s battle over grazing rights, proposed a program of land consolidation for its checker boarded lands, particularly in Oregon, California, Wyoming, Utah and in Nevada.

The standoff in Nevada between the Bureau of Land Management agents and Mr. Bundy entered a new phase on Friday when where militia groups across the country have joined Mr. Bundy’s fight against the feds (BLM) who have circled his land and have stated that they are not afraid to open fire.

According to the Washington Times, a spokesperson for the one of the militia groups said to local “8 News Now” media station that he is not afraid to shoot.

That Land. ALL OF IT belongs to the people. There can be no sale or developing with out the permission of the owners. This is not a hard concept. Most of us have been taught all through childhood; IF IT IS NOT YOURS DONT TOUCH!!!! the poor mothers of these people must be heartbroken. They should be ashamed for sure!

Not to sound picky but it really wouldn’t hurt if the groups putting these articles up would do a little proof reading first. It doesn’t help the cause when simple grammar and sentence structure can not even be obtained. Aside from that keep up the good work.

Hedley Lamarr: “Ah, Haley vs. United States. Haley: 7, United States: nothing. You see, it can be done! ”

The truly amusing part of all this is that the federal government holds ALL of these lands illegally. Don’t believe that? Well first take this under consideration:

“The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, its meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now.” South Carolina v. U.S

“Each State has the right to Dominion and Sovereignty over the land within it’s boundaries” U.S. v. Texas

“the federal trust respecting public lands obligated the United States to extinguish both their governmental jurisdiction and their title to land that achieved statehood” 44th Congress I believe

“The Congress shall have Power…To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” Article 1 Sec. 8 Cl. 17 U.S Constitution

The Constitution, the above and other Supreme Court rulings, the Resolution of 1780, the ‘equal footing clause’ and more make the above accusation of illegal holding quite clear. This is what this fight is really based on. I encourage and implore you to look into the above, and to watch the relevant videos in the link below; they do a good job in pointing out the problem.

We can’t fool ourselves because this isn’t over….They will be back. They haven’t finish with the Bundy family. According to the Fed’s he owes them over $1 million, they are not going to let that go. I haven’t seen proof that Harry Reid is involved but if he is, he will go through every back door to get his way even illegally.

obama implemented this plan in 2012. They designated 17 “Zones” in 6 states for their little land grab scheme. They’re called ” Solar Energy Zones”, SEZs, and it will authorize the BLM to decide what, if any, public participation will be allowed in these “Zones”.
